Was spotless when we arrived. Owners were really helpful and friendly! Pictures do not show how nice the cottage is! Absolutely loved the sheep right outside the door. We really enjoyed our stay!

Hosts were friendly and were readily available should we have needed anything. We felt well looked after without any intrusion of privacy. The setting is idyllic as it is rural but within close proximity of great motorway links. This enabled us to explore nearby lakes to the south, Scotland to the north,the dales to the east and the Cumbrian coast to the West. All in all a fantastic break.
